As Requested...
By my friends. This is so irony since they have been complaining about my wish list and now I am making their life difficult because I do not have one?! So here goes. Below are the things I DO NOT want for my birthday =D
1. No figurians
2. No perfume ( if you really want to, consult me before you do! ^^)
3. No dvds, vcds
4. No accessories
5. No clothings E.g tops, bottoms, shoes ( I don't mind having a new jacket though!)
6. No books
There, it should be so much easier to get my presents now isn't it ?
Cheers!

As CNY draws to a close....
Well, CNY was so much better this year. The ang bao has increased since my bro and sis-in-law were pretty generous and give me one before they fly off for their honeymoon! Have been pigging out on lots of CNY snacks and food. My dad went crazy on abalone this year and bought 6 cans of it ( he receive 1 free can from that purchase )!! There is such a thing as having "too much good food". I think I have gain a ton from all that -.- . I'm feeling very gulity about my lack of self-control. Sob!
Wednesday was the third day of Chinese New Year so there wasn’t any visiting and I stay at home with my family. I remembered someone telling me its ok to pay a visit to other people but its not! (as proven by Wikipedia).
" Third day and fourth of the new year
The third day of Chinese New Year is generally accepted as an inappropriate day to visit relatives due to the following schools of thought. People may subscribe to one or both thoughts.
1) It is known as "chì kou" , meaning that it is easy to get into arguments.
2) Families who had an immediate kin deceased in the past 3 years will not go house-visiting as a form of respect to the dead. The third day of the New Year is allocated to grave-visiting instead. Some people conclude it is inauspicious to do any house visiting at all. "
So what's a gal to do on a boring day like this and a big majority of the shops are closed? Watched SCV channels of course!
I had an unsettling realization that I am easily entertained. I came to this conclusion while watching AnimalPlanet for the first time (for a full hour)! It was actually quite enjoyable. This is what I learned:
1. Lions sleep 20 hours a day (such lazy animals!!!).
2. Lions hunt small animals with a majority of it being baby zebras. They even consume (gosh!) hedgehog.
3. Little lions look cute. Not quite so when they grow up.
4. Lions don't have as much mane as I expected. Those shown in AnimalPlanet look like they are balding!!
5. Lions are terribly afraid of elephants and rhinos.
I was quite fascinated by the video.
To end off this entry, a pic of a cute wine holder my mom bought! I'm so gonna persuade her to purchase the pirate wine holder which looks 10 times nicer =D

Highly Recommended!
Most talk about show after "Prison Break". I now present you with "Heroes"!
The series tells the story of several people who "thought they were like everyone else... until they realise they possess incredible abilities" such as telepathy, time travel and flight. These people soon realize they have a role in preventing a catastrophe and saving mankind.
So why should you guys watch it?? Let me tell you why. When the series premiered in the United States, it was the night's most-watched program among adults 18-49, attracting 14.3 million viewers overall and receiving the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years. Thats not all! The program was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for "best television drama" and "Best Supporting Actor" on a TV Series.
Need more reason to watch it? I absolutely adore this show *winks*. The plot keeps you in suspense and they have an adorable cast. Beware though cause its a teeny weeny bit gross for certain part of the show but thats no reason to stop watching =D
*Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities*

Happy to Announce.....
I have finally finish my part of the project!
Now why do I ♥ my group mates so? Cause they send their part of the project way before the deadline!
Below are pics of my adorable group mates. It was taken during lecture. I know I know, we weren't really concentrating cause it was SOOOOooo boring.
Thats me and Gerald.... and someone's finger *yikes*
The one in red and orange, thats Pris aka "Prics" in our group.
The other one is none other then Val.
P/s I promise to take a better pic next time with smiles etc. Hahha currently this is the only pic I have of them!
P/s P/s: Both of them are really good students ( most of the time anyway ^^). This was taken during break time
No pic of JunZ cause she's in Switzerland right now! That lucky gal. At least she hasn't forgotten us. She actually msn that she misses the group a lot. Hhaha ... we miss you lots too alright?! *hugZ*
Anyway, I have a change of blogskin because the previous one could not be seen. Bandwidth exceeded Zzzz... And of course a current fav song of mine that is playing on my blog. Its Snow Patrol's "chocolate". I have no idea how they came up with a song name like that since there is nothing about chocolate in the lyrics. Neverlessly, I still love it *grins*

Acomplishment...
For my project as of 12.14am- 142 words *shakes head*
I HATE HATE literature reviews cause it involve lots of research on journals which goes on forever. My mind went blank after all that browsing, trying to "absorb" the information I Googled and tranform it into something useful for this group project. A tedious process.... Sigh~ I forsee a long day for me tomorrow.
Anyway, I happen to stumble upon a comic which explains exactly how I feel about the "six sigma".
Six sigma is greek to me till I was force to read up on it for the group project. Basically, six sigma are used to measure control and aims for "perfection". SO to achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities and this has been implemented by General Electric, Motorola etc...
BUT according to Fortune(CNNMoney.com) out of the 58 companies that launched "six sigma" after the success by GE, 91% are lagging behind other companies?! Luckily my group isn't writting about "six sigma" because it will be hard for me to argue on something so dumb ^^
*Yawn* No school tomorrow but I'll be stuck at home completing my project =(
For now sleep is the only thing on my mind. NightZ all!
